Song of the Sound

Song of the Sound is based on the novel by the same name written by Adam Armstrong (AKA Jeff Gulvin). Tam first read the novel over 15 years ago while studying film and TV and fell in love with the story. She felt adamant that one day she would adapt it for the screen. Once she was professionally in a position to purchase the film and television rights she did so and then wrote the screenplay.

She has now adapted it into a 6 part television drama series. The series is set in a coastal town, where the bleak, cold, harshness of the landscape can reflect the dark secrets and the compelling plot twists and turns. It is a story of mystery and intrigue with drama, tragedy, triumph and betrayal and tells the story of whale and dolphin expert Libby Bass who moves to a new country in search of a new life but is met by a town full of dark secrets and the mysterious American John-Cody who hides the biggest secret of all.

‘What Does Monkey Boo Love’ is the story of a delightfully cute character called Monkey Boo and all the things he really loves. Monkey Boo takes the reader on a fun and engaging journey showing them lots of wonderful and special things that all little ones love about life. There is now a second book in the Monkey Boo series titled ‘Monkey Boo Loves Colours’ which is aimed at the 0 to 3 year olds who are learning about colours.

Tam was inspired to put her writing talent towards a children’s picture book from all the hours she has spent reading to her daughters, something that has provided her with the knowledge of what is required to ensure children are fully captivated by the words and the vibrant and colourful illustrations.

Due to the popularity of Monkey Boo Tam is now in production for an animation program featuring Monkey Boo, his family and his friends Katy Kangaroo, Ruby Rabbit, Perry Panda and Eddie Elephant.
